Gen. Leo Marquez Award. Marquez was a retired deputy chief of staff for logistics and engineering for the Air Force. The eponymous award is intended to recognize officials in the Air Force who excel in technological maintenance. The award recognizes base-level military and civil service aircraft, munitions and missile maintenance personnel who perform hands-on maintenance or manage a maintenance function. Marquez served for 33 years as a U.S. Air Force officer, and most of his time spent in the aircraft maintenance, supply, transportation and program management. According to Marquez's alma mater, New Mexico State University, he was affectionately known as the "Godfather" of maintenance for revolutionizing the Air Force's approach to aircraft maintenance, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the occupation. Other career highlights include the implementation of the Air Force Combat Ammunitions Center as well as the maintenance badge that all Air Force maintainers now wear above their hearts. The winners will now compete at the Air Force level. AFMC Lieutenant General Leo Marquez Award Winners Field Grade Manager Aircraft Maintenance - Lt. Col. Jennifer M.
